What religion are most people in Afghanistan?
Looks liks Islam dominates, with 99%. About 80% are Sunni and 20% Shia. See this Wikipedia article on

for more details.
Religion was banned by the communists who ran the country from 1978-87 (the Soviets invaded in 1979, prompting the US to
boycott the 1980 Olympics
).
(see how Religion and Politics overlap?)
Also there are perhaps 300,000 people who practice
